Remember going to see the magic shows when you were a kid, or even seeing them on television. I used to like when they would saw the woman in half, and then put her back together again. Now what if we did an experiment and sawed off some parts of Skype and put them into Firefox, as an extension? Then you would have Skyfox.
What Skyfox does is by no way going to revolutionize the way you use a computer. Not everything you read has to be that life changing though. This extension does one simple job and it does it well. After you install the Skyfox. extension, you just need to give it your login name to Skype and it will give you a drop down menu of all your contacts. Want talk to somebody? Just select their name, and you are good to go.
Now I would have liked to of seen a sidebar for Skype to sit in and maybe a little more merging of the two. Maybe in the next release we will see a little more functionality. Another thing worth bringing up is the fact that you do have to have Skype running in the background to get the full use of the Skyfox. extension. For now though, Skyfox does a good job at making my Skype contacts a little more handy.
